    Here’s some detailed feedback on your solution:

    1. Semantic HTML Strengths: You have used semantic elements like <h1> for the title, and appropriate <p> tags for paragraphs, which is great. Improvements: Use more semantic HTML elements. For example: Wrap the blog content in an <article> element instead of using generic <div> containers. This enhances accessibility and SEO. Use <header> for the top section that includes the title, date, and learning tag. Consider using <time> for the date to make it semantically clear that it represents a date.
    2. Accessibility Strengths: The alt attributes on your images (<img>) are well-implemented, which is crucial for screen readers. Improvements: For better accessibility, the color contrast between text and background should be checked. For example, the light gray text in .detail (#6b6b6b) might be harder to read against a white background for some users. Tools like the WebAIM Contrast Checker can help ensure proper contrast. Consider adding aria-label or aria-labelledby attributes for interactive elements like your hoverable <h1> for better screen reader support. Add a :focus state for any interactive elements (like links or hoverable headers), so users who navigate via keyboard can see which element is currently focused.
    3. Responsive Layout Strengths: You have implemented a media query for screens smaller than 416px, which shows that you've considered responsiveness. Improvements: Test on a variety of screen sizes, especially between 416px and tablet size (~768px). The layout might feel squeezed between these ranges. You might consider adding additional breakpoints to improve layout scaling for medium-sized devices. Consider using flex-grow or grid-template-columns to allow your card to adjust better across different viewports, giving more flexibility to the layout.
    4. Code Structure and Reusability Strengths: Your CSS is generally well-organized and uses modern features like flexbox. The use of @media queries shows that you are keeping responsiveness in mind. Improvements: You could refactor some CSS to be more reusable by grouping similar properties. For example, both .learning and .name use font-weight: 800. Consider creating a utility class for bold text, and then apply it wherever needed (e.g., .bold-text). Use CSS variables for frequently used values like colors (#f4d04e appears multiple times, so setting it as a variable would increase maintainability).
    5. Design Consistency Strengths: The overall layout, with a structured card design, looks good and closely follows the blog preview card concept. Improvements: The hover color on the <h1> (yellow) might be too close to the background color, making it less noticeable. Try using a darker or more contrasting color for hover states. The avatar image (.sec3 img) width is set to 10%, which could lead to disproportionate scaling, especially on larger screens. Consider using px or rem units for more consistent sizing.

How does the accessibility report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use axe-core to run an automated audit of your code.

This picks out common accessibility issues like not using semantic HTML and not having proper heading hierarchies, among others.

This automated audit is fairly surface level, so we encourage to you review the project and code in more detail with accessibility best practices in mind.

How does the CSS report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use stylelint to run an automated check on the CSS code.

We've added some of our own linting rules based on recommended best practices. These rules are prefixed with frontend-mentor/ which you'll see at the top of each issue in the report.

The report will audit all CSS, SCSS and Less files in your repository.

How does the HTML validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use html-validate to run an automated check on the HTML code.

The report picks out common HTML issues such as not using headings within section elements and incorrect nesting of elements, among others.

Note that the report can pick up “invalid” attributes, which some frameworks automatically add to the HTML. These attributes are crucial for how the frameworks function, although they’re technically not valid HTML. As such, some projects can show up with many HTML validation errors, which are benign and are a necessary part of the framework.

How does the JavaScript validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use eslint to run an automated check on the JavaScript code.

The report picks out common JavaScript issues such as not using semicolons and using var instead of let or const, among others.

The report will audit all JS and JSX files in your repository. We currently do not support Typescript or other frontend frameworks.
